Wow, let the wrenches fly and the fun begin! Maybe you should have a series of assembly parties. The kind where you work on the car while friends provide conversation and the occasional hand.
That is gonna be bad *** when it's all back together.

 

That 'Cuda is awesome. My favorite muscle car of all time. I would just about give a kidney for a '70 or '71.

 

Thanks for sharing those pics. Please start a new thread of your Cuda build, or point to the other forum where you're doing that. Ohhhh, mighty. That there is something to behold.

I'd be there on every other weekend to help if I were in your neighborhood. Keep at it.

 

The 'Cuda. Makes every man envious. My dream car, too bad they are so expensive

 

What goes in there?

I had a friend who had one back in 73 or so. It had the 440 six pak, automatic, shaker hood scoop, power windows, A/C in red/black. Awesome car. He sold it to a friend, then it sat and rusted for a few decades until that friend passed away. I understand his brother in CA took the car to get it restored. Just wonder how that's gone. Probably a hundred thou car if done right.

I was in high school from 69-71 right in the muscle car era. Still think about some of the cars friends had and sold... that would be worth ten times the amount now.

 

Why not? Great reliable bikes.

 

both!

 

Agreed! And take them places

 

I wish i could take back the ones i sold. I sold my 69 superbee 6 years ago, 2 68 charger r/t's 8 years ago and a 68 coronet r/t 10 years ago, all were restored. I kind of lost the desire to keep restoring cars and then ending up selling them after they are done. I guess i love(d) the building process. This one will never be sold. I spent 6 months of weekends on my back just doing the under carriage and getting all the undercoating off. You start with a propane torch on a 2" area until it starts to smoke, then take off with a die grinder and a wire wheel, then move to the next 2" and on and on and when you are done, you have to go back and blast the whole area. When i bought this car i looked rougher than it was, previous owner stipped the paint and then left it in his shop for years so it had a patina rust. I stripped the whole car myself and then sent it to paint. When i got it it still had the original am 8 track player with a doobie bros tape in it, lol. Its the most original car i have owned and everything matched. Here's when i got it and the stock radio after it was restored. The radio cost 300 bucks in 1970, it was the latest technology, It todays dollars that would be 1600 bucks. I started to project before i had my 1200 sq foot shop build on my property.

 

Lots of comments on keeping both, but the OP said "or". That makes it entirely dependent on what kind of riding you'll be doing. Heck, I'd like to keep about 10 different bikes if money, space, and time were no object.

Oh...and Mopar sucks!
